Nice idea and well painted Nancy.

Thanks Jim! I am thinking about the white space above the head, needs something. A little more color (subtle) added to tree limbs, same palette as fur. I am afraid to touch the sky tho.

Good work, Nancy. The wolf has an ethereal look, so your 'spirit-like' idea has worked. I love the colours in the wolf's eyes. I'd be loathe to do anything with the white space above the head, I have too many paintings where doing 'one more thing' has ruined them. But that's just my opinion, maybe you're not so timid as me.

It works very well, Nancy.

I think this is beautiful and works a treat Nancy

It works well Nancy, great eyes.

A lovely piece of work Nancy 👍🏻

Love it Nancy so elemental

I think it looks wonderful Nancy.

A beautiful idea, Nancy. The spirit like appearance is in my opinion very successful. I also think the eyes are perfectly painted!

Love the eyes.

Excellent as it is Nancy, both images blend well together....ghostly.

I thank you all for your kind comments and for the advice! I really need it. Perhaps I will keep the white space above head, Lewis, thanks. ( I think it is an interesting shape) I will put the lightest tint of color in a few trees. I am happy with the eyes, snout, thanks all.

A watercolor. Half sheet, 15 x 20 inches. I have a white wolf commission to paint for Christmas! I thought there was room in the white left forefront of this B & W forest study, to paint a wolf face emerging. What do you think? is it working? seems to come forward from the trees, be part of, or perhaps a spirit like appearance?
